Reese Knightley

Mason and Gage are a case of total opposite attracting. They don't even want to like each other, much less fall in love, but neither can avoid the pull. Mason doesn't want a commitment, and Gage can't afford anything with his family life. However, both men realize they can't fight it, and they can't stop it. I was surprised that Mason caved in so fast, but I guess for him it was the ultimate solution to take care of Gage's issues, so off he goes. Both guys are very likeable characters, their chemistry too off a bit fast but then, it really wasn't instant attraction. It would have been nice to have had more background information on both Mason and Gage. It was obvious that their troubled pasts should have left more issues and deeper scars than we were told. While there is not a lot of overlapping from the first book, but the busy, turbulent world of the Justice Force sometimes made it difficult to remember who everyone was and why something that happened obviously mattered. I really like this author and look forward to getting the next book in the series.… (more)

This story...the start of the Operation Justice series, brings suspense, love and as the series title suggests...the fight for justice. Dalton and Adam fell in love when they were very young but didn’t know then how to make it work. Thirteen years of wasted time and Adam, aka "Sphinx", is blacklisted in the CIA. Dalton and "Pegasus" were assigned to find him and bring him in, but the meeting had been compromised. Adam and Dalton recognized each other’s voices while they were shooting at each other. At that point I just wanted to scream at them to "STOP SHOOTING"!!! Adam quickly decided he needed to change location and decided to go home which just happened to be Dalton's families' house. Dalton and "Pegasus" had been both given the Christmas holidays off and he was by this time, really missing Adam. Knowing that Adam would be there, he quickly made off for his house. He had for some time suspected that Adam might be "Sphinx" but he couldn’t find evidence enough to prove it. Adam wasn't sure that Dalton wouldn't just arrest him and ask questions later...so he again withheld his identity...but then his location was again compromised. Finally, he started putting the pieces together but needed Pegasus to help catch the "bad guys". By now my head was swimming and I just wanted the two of them to get it together. Overall, it was a pretty good love story when Dalton and Adam finally came to the conclusion that hey. we're both on the same side. I like books with "Happy Ever After" endings and this one didn't disappoint. On to book #2.… (more)

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: Domestic Abuse/Sexual Assault
Domestic violence and sexual assault should never be tolerated by anyone and should be reported. I can understand what the author was doing with this story and enlightening people on the importance of stopping it.... still, I felt it went on a little too long. Triton from book #2, was abused by his parents fand then a boyfriend and his brother, because of his sexuality. Since he had never experienced real love, he didn't always understand how not to make wrong choices for his life. Then he met Diesel who was an army buddy of Triton's cousin and his boyfriend. Triton was kidnapped and held in a cave and Diesel rescued him. Triton ex-boyfriend and his brother had beat him so bad that his friend helped him to leave and go to Oregon to Diesel. When Triton got to Oregon, he was grabbed and was about to be assaulted when the lady at the bus station rescued him. Through being with Diesel, his friends and counseling, Triton began the healing process. The story was good and the point the author was trying to make was important, but this was a hard story to read.… (more)

I debated a long time before deciding on the rating. This is Zane and Issac's story.... the story that it seems I have waited forever to read. I have had an on again off again going with this series since book 1, but I do really like Reece Knightly and several of the books in the series have really hit the mark with me...this one? Yes and no. There are way too many individual storylines going on that we don't have a real clear feeling of what is going on. Anyone that started the series with this book would probably give it up. I expected a big blow up and didn't have long to wait...both guys are dynamite fuses looking for a place to go off. One of the biggest problems I have with not only these two guys, but many of the characters in other M/M romances, as well as F/M romance books...they either don't talk to one another, or they spent 3/4 of the book being either angry or reiterating why they shouldn't be together. Come on...the book is only so long. Get it together guys. You're acting like a couple of love-sick teenagers. Overall...Reece Knightly is a fantastic author and the characters in this series will grab and hold your heart. I just wish they wouldn't take so long to grab each other's hearts.… (more)
